I have drank diet pop/soda all my life and am trying to curb the habit but am finding it difficult to just drink water. A lot of the little flavor packets you can add to water make my mouth super dry, unfortunately. I wish I could just drink fruit juice all the time! I swear if I wasn’t diabetic it would probably be peach mango juice all the time, lol. Anyways, if you have a suggestion I’d love to hear it!
Only drink Buxton sparkling water and flat mineral boiled for tea. The water where I live is vile and even clogs up the jets on my windscreen wash, it gets a black sludge so can only imagine what it does to the insides of a human. My dog refused to drink it so that says something!Coffee, black or with cream, tea without milk, fizzy water, sometimes with ginger or lemon. A slice of cucumber can add a pleasant flavour too. Tap water is out of the question where I live - it's revolting, and I like mine from higher up the food chain. I've been amazed at how inoffensive tap water in other parts of the country is.
Iced water and white tea or occasionally Cranberry juiceFizzy mineral water
Coffee ( black , strong )
Tea. ( black usually )
Very occasionally
Whisky
Red wine
Rarely
Very low carb beer
Bit of sugar/or the equivalent in flavoured gins and spirits tho! Especially in rum etc... just for awarenessI am now on Mounjaro and have consequently gone off diet coke (used to drink loads) but now makes me too bloated. Also gone off tea & coffee!
Drink lots of mint tea or sugar free squash in tap water.
Don't drink alcohol very often but am partial to a glass of Rose or flavoured gins. Spirits don't have any carbs so better than wine, cider or beer.
